I have almost created a website that works in all major browsers flawlessly. Yesterday, I celebrated because that was true. Today, I found out that it is not.
Apparently, Opera won't wrap text on buttons. I tried everything that popped up in my searches - from spacing to outdated Mozilla Firefox hacks.
How can I tell Opera to wrap text on a button? Shortening the text is not an option, as the shortest it could be is still too long.
EDIT:
Here is a JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/JavaAndCSharp/grX4H/
Uhm, yes it does? I didn't even do anything other than define the width of the button. I'd suggest that you have conflicting CSS.

HTML:
<button>This is really long button text that should wrap after I define a fixed-width.</button>
CSS:
button{
width:60px;
}
Output:
Edit after your update http://jsfiddle.net/CJbae/
HTML:
<form>
<button id="littleWorld" type="button">really really long text that will probably overflow on opera</button>
</form>
CSS:
#littleWorld{
border-radius:40px;
border-width:0px;
width:250px;
height:250px;
background-color:#808080;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
This is indeed a known issue in Opera, where more text formatting will be applied to BUTTON elements than to INPUT type=button. They should be equivalent, really.
I hope using BUTTON instead of INPUT type="button" is an acceptable workaround for you (fingers crossed - BUTTON might cause other rendering problems in other browsers..)
Seems Opera already has a bug on this - internally it's CORE-45335.
